Territory

It is a region of narrow valleys and steep mountain peaks; the highest point being Coma Pedrosa (2,946 m). Numerous watercourses unite to form the river Valira, which flows to the south and into Spain. The water used to generate hydroelectric energy is one of the few significant natural resources of the Principality. There are small deposits of iron and lead. Andorra has no railway system or airport (negotiations are in progress with the Spanish Government for the reopening of the airport in La Seu d’Urgell, just 14 Km from the Andorran border), but there is an excellent network of roads. Presently, the nearest international airports to the Principality are those of Toulouse (France) and Barcelona (Spain), both cities two hours away by car.
